BATTERY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18379346 titled 'BATTERY SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a battery system with multiple racks managed by a system manager. Each rack has a rack battery, a rack switch, and a rack manager to estimate and transmit the state of charge of the battery to the system manager. The system manager can disconnect batteries at 0% or 100% charge and control the charging/discharging process.
- The battery system includes multiple racks managed by a system manager.
- Each rack has a rack battery, a rack switch, and a rack manager.
- The rack manager estimates and transmits the state of charge of the battery to the system manager.
- The system manager can disconnect batteries at 0% or 100% charge and control the charging/discharging process.
